Review on πŸ‰ Merrell Ontario Hiking Dragonfly Little Boys' Shoes: Designed for Outdoor Adventures by John Jones

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not waterproof

They are great but not waterproof. My feet always got wet when there was snow on the ground, even if I was just walking around town on the sidewalk. Silicone treatment didn't help at all. I think they are leaking at the seams at the top. Otherwise they are great but I really wanted the boots to stay dry. UPDATE: After 5 months of frequent use they are gone. A few seams burst open, get wet and stay that way even with light dirt. That wouldn't be a problem if they didn't take forever to dry. In the winter I enjoyed them for a few months in thick wool socks. Although my feet got a bit wet in the snow, they stayed warm and very comfortable. I'm sure they won't be with torn seams and leaking Gortex now. The grip on them is phenomenal and they are light with loads of support. Too bad they don't resist water better and/or dry faster.

Pros
  • Shaft about ankle height from arch of foot
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
